  • I decided to go with the Nikon AN-N2000. ($30) Nikon 1 V1 with AN-N2000 Nikon leather strap (and the bottom half of the Nikon eveready case.)  While I like the "Leica style" straps like the A&A...
  • Meh, if you are being that stingy just use your iphone.

  • The good ones like the Manfrotto 209 are rigid enough, but for larger dSLR rigs you should probably do what I do and switch the ballhead out for something more substantial.

  • Commented on Olympus PEN E-P5 Review preview

    Hopefully it is an adjustment that can be fixed by a firmware update.

  • Commented on Olympus PEN E-P5 Review preview

    This is the most "PEN-looking" of the digital PEN series yet. Pity the lenses don't really match.

    ”then what sort of 5-axis state of the art IS system is it, really??”

    One that clearly messed up the closed loop feedback parameters slightly.

    It's tricky stuff, moving the sensor around to...

  • The raw data off the sensor is a digitized signal representative of the captured incident light for each pixel, a number to give its address, and some other identifier to tell you whether it is...
  • Audacious.

    But remember, they don't have to sell very many to turn a profit since the margins are so big. Get several thousand people around the world who want a RX-100, for whom paying an extra...

  • This "shoelace as a strap" idea might have legs. $2.50, and you get an spare one in the package! :-D Adjust length to taste by how you tie the knots. Light, flexible, strong and waterproof...
  • Ah, I'm a longtime fan of Artisan&Artist. Pricey, but really good. I notice there is a special slim version of the slider, designed to fit the 6 mm split rings of the V1-V2. That's really...
  • Now I'm curious. Has anyone every seen a Leica S2 in the wild? Outside of a store.

    I have not, but then that's really not surprising. I imagine these are used by fashion journalists or something...

  • @Revenant

    Well, you could get a m43 camera to go with that Olympus lens for about the same price as a replacement lens cap for this Leica lens.

    But who am I kidding? No one needs more than an...

  • Thanks for the photo of the Nikon hand strap "in the wild". If they had a neck strap of the same basic construction (i.e. not the standard nylon thing included with the camera) I would be very...
  • The Leica strap is very close to what I had in mind. Shortlisted.
  • Replied in @ Booyau...
    aside: the Oben tripods look like a exact copy of the Bogen/Manfrotto 209...  (No bad thing though, the 209 is a great little table-top tripod.)
  • Thanks! Still looks like overkill though. Are you sure that's the "slim" one? It's a personal thing, I know, but I was thinking more along the lines of a slim (10-12mm) leather strap... you know,...
  • As you probably know already, the strap on a Nikon 1 V1 (and V2?) attaches though traditional eyelets and triangular split rings, with the split rings roughly 60% of full size. The maximum width of...
  • The computers in our cameras already make corrections. The discussion is only about what corrections you want to hand over to the image processing, and to what degree.

    With everyone clamoring for...
